Thanks, makes sense. I wonder why there is such a difference in prices for the same boost. Why would someone buy a diamond $35,000 item over a $5000 diamond item with same 6X boost? Is it just cosmetics?

Okay, the new system for equipment has me a bit confused. I play RTTS mostly. Basically, does equipment still have specific stat boosts? I understand the X factor boosts on perks but what about the specific stat boosts for certain stats? I've read others saying there are no stat boosts, just perk multiplier. In the game, when you go to community market and select a piece of equipment and look at the info, it doesn't list the specific stat boosts anymore, just perk. Is there a difference between 2 Diamond batting gloves with 6X perk but one is $20,000 and the other is like $8500? Why would anyone be buying the most expensive gear? Sorry again, just really confused on this. Thanks

This is most likely a real dump question/post... I've come across 3 videos of players downloading grinding rosters to use for fast leveling OVR. How can this work in 25? I could do this in 24 by playing a grinding player position and then creating a new real player and they can use their upgrades. How can this happen in the new system? Each new player starts the same and progresses the same, correct? What am I missing? Are these guys just doing this for fun? They never explain why they are doing this.

You can turn off fake throw in settings. I had to do it for my 2nd Base and pitcher.

[censored].... this explains my 2 years in AA with very little growth. 54 to 65. Thanks

Is there a best practice to maximize Overall (OVR) growth in RTTS for a pitcher? I've been spending all my tokens on FB velo and arm strength with scattering in other areas. It seems my OVR is raising very slow. What attributes should I focus on for a pitcher?

@PriorFir4383355_XBL You seem knowledgeable on this. For the newer system with tokens for OVR number, are there stats that should be raised that increase your OVL faster? For my pitcher, I maxed out FB & arm strength and some in H9 ect.

Hi, I'm in my third year, Sep AAA with OVR at 74 with Pirates. I'm behind Bednar - 81. If you've run a Closer, how long did it take to get called up? My ERA is under 1 and never lost a save. Just curious if I'm missing something. I don't want to start a new closer and move to a new team. Thanks

Okay, I'm not complaining really, just wondering if I'm messing up somehow. I started a Closer with Pirates. I started 54 overall. Was selected first round - 15th pick. ERA is 1.45. I've played every game and having fun. The issue is I'm still in AAA after 2 years. OVL is 71 with Bednar over me - 85. But I'm 3rd on relievers. Going 3rd year still in AAA. Is it just extremely slow because of closer? Not joking, I've played every game, no simming. Any ideas? I don't want to mess with sliders because experience gets knocked. All Star setting.

@GreenEydBndt_XBL Was your Overall under the person in front of you? I haven't heard that your Stats can move you up verses just your overall score.

Hi, sorry, can't find this info in forums. I play RTTS almost exclusively, with only Franchise as my other. Equipment has always given specific boosts to certain stats. So, for example, what is the gain if I buy one diamond batting glove over another same type. In years past, each equipment had stat boosts that they listed. Like equipment was almost never the same boosts, I can't find what one product offers over another. They are all rated/grouped by a times 2 or 4 modifier for perks. Why would I buy a more expensive 4x item over another 4x item that costs almost half less? I understand how the Perks work but not sure why one 4X item is better then another 4x item of the same type. Hope this makes sense.

Just adding my agreement. I dropped my left fielder because I have never had a fly ball deep. Grounders, short pop ups & homeruns with no chance to get. I'm in June, 68 overall & bored. Stopped playing him. PS, I've played every game.

I liked the game report after a game in Franchise. You could always bypass it if you wanted. But I liked it because it gave game highlight information on all the other games simmed. I sort of miss it now.

The great thing of separating RTTS players from DD, is you may have several even at the same position. There is a limit though of I think 10. But more than enough to create different players/positions.

I agree. I'll create a character in Franchise and play that way but it would be nice to play multiple positions or utility for rtts

Thank you, SDS. I know not everyone will agree but I love the upgrade to catcher. I like playing the position. We now have more gameplay overall with stealing, pop-ups, calling pitches in big moments and now plays at home with runners. One [censored], I've tagged out like 1 for 15 at the plate:) The slow (L) motion and then hit the showing button is going to take some time to get down. But I like that they did something for the position.

This is nuts. Leave RTTS as is. Some of us don't play DD and this is a stand alone part of the game that many of us enjoy.

For those of us that like to play a RTTS/Franchise type of merge, I love the ability to be able to track stats and Awards over their career. I play RTTS & FRACHISE exclusively. I love RTTS but sometimes want my player to be on a team I can manage also. The upgrades for Franchise has made this a bit better for us that play our created players in Franchise.

On one hand, this is very cool. But this is a video game and I'm afraid she won't be received well. I've heard her before and her voice recording is hard to follow not alone understand the information she is presenting. This is a big miss for inclusivity. I hope it works out well for her.
